How could An Jinsheng not understand this familiar feeling of heat?
It was because of this that he and Zhou Xingxue were forced to get married after the villagers found out.
But the person next to him now is not a woman, but a real man.
"Who? Who's there?"
He shouted in fear, his voice echoing in the empty room, but there was no response, only the panting sound getting closer and closer.
An Jinsheng struggled hard to break free from the rope, but it was all in vain.
He felt his body getting hotter and hotter, as if it was about to burn, and sweat soon soaked his clothes.
Just as his muscles were tense, he clearly felt the man's hand grabbing his injured leg.
Maybe it was the effect of the medicine, but An Jinsheng couldn't feel the pain in his legs at all. However, he was also unable to pull his legs out of the man's hands.
...
...
He was just about to raise his other foot to kick the man when he heard a cold, low laugh.
Then An Jinsheng was suddenly pulled by the man, and his body was uncontrollably dragged on the ground towards the man.
In the dark house, An Jinsheng's shrill screams were soon heard, as well as another man's low growl and heavy breathing.
…
At this time, Meng Xunzhou and Song Shishi were busy preparing lunch together in the courtyard.
Meng Xunzhou stood in front of the stove, his posture straight, like a pine tree rooted in the kitchen.
His arms moved up and down at a constant speed, and the kitchen knife made a crisp and rhythmic sound when it collided with the chopping board. Each move was precise and accurate, as if he was completing a work of art.
His eyes were focused as he stared at the vegetables in his hands, cutting them into even and neat small pieces with skillful and smooth movements.
Song Shishi squatted aside and added firewood to the stove.
Today Meng Xunzhou specifically told her to just help out on the side and let the position of chef be given to Meng Xunzhou.
The flames leaped up suddenly, and the scorching heat instantly hit her, making her cheeks red like a ripe apple.
She raised her eyes, and her gaze met Meng Xunzhou's. They smiled at each other, and that smile was full of sweetness and tacit understanding, as if everything in the world had lost its color at this moment.
"Aunt Zheng, is Shishi going to make lunch today?"
It happened that Qiao Yanxin came back from outside and saw Zheng Peilan tending to the vegetables she grew. While asking, she rolled up her sleeves and pretended to go to the small kitchen at the back to help.
Zheng Peilan raised her eyes to look at Qiao Yanxin, and waved at her, "Hey...she doesn't need your help."
When Qiao Yanxin came over confused, Zheng Peilan shook the dirt off her hands, turned around, wiped her hands with a cloth, and waved to Qiao Yanxin.
"You just happened to be back. Can you help me take a look at the new pattern I knitted on my sweater? I combined it with some of your own ideas based on what you taught me last time."
Zheng Peilan said this, walked into the main house and took out a knitted sweater.
The size of that sweater is obviously for children.
"Aunt Zheng, your craftsmanship is really impeccable. If you sell this, I'm sure many people will be eager to buy it."
Qiao Yanxin praised sincerely.
If Zheng Peilan's craftsmanship were to be put into modern times, she would definitely be in great demand.
Zheng Peilan felt a little embarrassed by her praise, "It's not as good as you say, I was just thinking about it at home when I had nothing to do."
When Song Shishi came over with the prepared food, she happened to hear their conversation.
She leaned over and glanced at the sweater in Zheng Peilan's hand.
"Mom, we don't have any children at home, why are you making children's sweaters?"
Zheng Peilan glanced at her unhappily, "I'm just worried that you'll get married and have children in the future, and I won't have time to knit for the children. Anyway, I'm free now, so I'm just playing with it."
"Mom, aren't you preparing too early?"
"It's getting late. Last time when I was buying groceries, I ran into your Aunt Fu at the supply and marketing cooperative. She asked me what the current situation was between you and Xunzhou. Xunzhou refused to tell her, so she had to ask me. But how would I know? I also want to ask you, what are your plans?"
Um... after talking for so long, I'm waiting for her here.
Song Shishi smiled helplessly.
How can she, a girl, have the final say in this matter?
She was just about to find an excuse to fool him when she heard Meng Xunzhou's voice coming from behind her.
"Aunt Zheng, don't worry, my mom and I will be fine soon."
"What's coming soon?"
Song Shishi looked confused when she heard this.
But Meng Xunzhou just smiled and didn't answer.
Qiao Yanxin covered her mouth and laughed, "Well... I still have to pack some food for Lili to send to the store. I'll just pack it and leave. You guys take your time to eat."
Since the whole family was getting together, she might as well get some food and go to the store to keep Xu Li company.
Qiao Yanxin went to the small kitchen, got two lunch boxes, filled them with food and left.
After dinner, Song Shishi was called to the library by Mr. Gong again, while Meng Xunzhou stayed with Zheng Peilan in the courtyard.
It was not until the evening that Song Shishi came back.
But as soon as she entered the yard, she was stunned.
In the main courtyard, the bluestone path from the hanging flower gate to the center of the courtyard was lined with pots of flowers.
Meng Xunzhou was wearing a military uniform and seemed to be holding something in his hand. He looked at her with a gentle smile on his face.
"you……"
Song Shishi had just opened her mouth when suddenly, the silence was broken by the sound of hurried footsteps.
I saw a policeman standing behind Song Shishi. He was wearing a neat police uniform and walking with strong steps.
The policeman raised his hand and saluted in a standard military salute, his posture upright and his expression respectful.
"Captain Meng, An Jinsheng has been recaptured. The evidence of his crimes is irrefutable, and he will definitely be severely punished by law. Moreover, he encountered an accident the night he escaped, and is now mentally ill. His legs are permanently disabled, and he will never be able to walk normally again."
Hearing this, Song Shishi's eyes widened instantly, and a complex emotion flashed in her eyes.
There is so much information in what the police said just now.
She didn't know that so many things happened in less than a day.
Meng Xunzhou frowned slightly, a stern look flashed across his face. He nodded gently and thanked the police in a steady and powerful voice: "Thank you for your hard work. Thank you for your dedication."
The police officer returned the salute and turned to leave, and the yard fell into a brief silence again.
Meng Xunzhou took a deep breath and smiled again.
"Shishi."
He called her softly.
Song Shishi looked at him and walked towards him slowly.
"He escaped?"
Meng Xunzhou nodded.
Although he didn't want to mention An Jinsheng at this moment, he also knew that only by talking clearly with Song Shishi could she feel relieved.
"Then the accident the police just mentioned was your doing?"
Meng Xunzhou shook his head, "No."
Song Shishi raised her eyebrows.
Since it wasn't done by Meng Xunzhou, it might have been done by Jiang Xinran's cousin.
As expected, he is a gangster, and his methods are different. He can actually make someone like An Jinsheng mentally ill. It is really not easy.
"I just added one more blow afterwards."
Meng Xunzhou spoke calmly as if he was talking about a trivial matter.
He carefully held the small box in his hand in front of Song Shishi, opened the box, and a medal appeared in front of Song Shishi.
"Because of what happened last time, the team awarded me the second-class honor, and I have now been promoted to battalion commander. Our lives will only get better and better in the future."
"Shishi, I want to share this joy with you first. I want to see you every day."
